Power Tools

For the macho man in all of us.

Handheld Saws Circular Saws Jig Saws Miter Saws Reciprocating Saws	Other Saws Power Saws Radial Arm Saws Table Saws Band Saws Tile Saws	Jointers A jointer helps to even out unusable lumber into ready to use wood. You're going to want the wood to end up flat, straight, and square, so the flatter the jointer, the better.	Lathes Found in more serious workshops, a lathe is used to cut, sand, and drill an object while spinning on an axis. This helps to perfect the object's symmetry and provide you with an even shape.

Planers A planer cuts varying pieces of wood that a normal person couldn't do. For example, 1/64". Be sure to get the right type of planer for your woodworking needs.	Power Drills Corded and cordless drills are necessary for any good workshop.	Power Grinders Used for grinding just about any surface	Woodworking Routers Routers are hand-held tools used for both decorative projects (such as adding sculpted patterns to furniture) and for making joints in woodworking projects.	Shapers Shapers do many of the same jobs that routers do, but are attached to a heavy base. They are typically higher-powered than routers and are used for larger projects.
